Desktop Blogging
From Habari Project
Many clients exist to allow you to edit your blog and post new content from your desktop without having to interact with the admin interface. They also provide a backup of your posts in case you have a server problem. Habari supports Atom Publishing Protocol by default, and with a MetaWeblog plugin, most desktop blogging clients should be able to post to Habari. The XMLRPC entry point should be specified as 'http://<site>/atom' for Atompub clients and 'http://<site>/xmlrpc/' for Metaweblog.
Consult the following chart to determine which clients will work best.
